At the Heart of the White Rose: Letters and Diaries of Hans and Sophie Scholl | Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl

Sophie Scholl was a leading member of The White Rose, a student-led anti-Nazi resistance group who printed leaflets encouraging Germans to reject Nazi philosophy. The White Rose became an influential example of student resistance, and its members recognized as heroes. Photos are mug shots of Sophie Scholl after her arrest by the Gestapo, along with her supposed last words before her execution by the state at age 21. #splendid #InspiredNewYear

Buechersuechtling Thanks for your posting. I didn‘t know that those are supposedly her last words. They broke my heart. 💔 But they would have, regardless from who they were. 4y

Andrea313 @Buechersuechtling The full quote of her last words reads, "It is such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go. But how many have to die on the battlefield in these days, how many young, promising lives? What does my death matter if by our acts thousands are warned and alerted? Among the student body there will certainly be a revolt." ??? 4y

The White Rose: Munich, 1942-1943 | Inge Scholl, Dorothee S�lle

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 18 #bookstoread #tbrpile

This is a remarkable story, told with passion and respect for what the White Rose movement did. Their bravery and strength of character was amazing and you can't help but question whether you could have shown anything like their courage. It's also a warning from history - people didn't oppose Hitler in the early days of the Nazi movement because they didn't take him seriously and thought he was just a beer hall agitator. Never stop fighting Nazis.
